Easter Muddy Buddies Recipe

Hi Everyone, Spring is here!

I have a timely Easter and Spring-themed dessert, and snack for you: Easter Muddy Buddies Recipe.

There are many opportunities to make these this Spring, for example, teacher's gifts, edible thank-you gifts, and family, and church gatherings.

Who wouldn't want a cellophane bag of these goodies?

You can customize them with your favorite Easter-themed candy, my personal, favorite is pastel peanut M&Ms.

I like them with this recipe because the peanut center goes well with the smooth peanut butter.

The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is a dream!

You get the sweet-salty combo that makes you want to reach for more.

Speaking of chocolate, this recipe uses white chocolate.

I chose white chocolate because it makes for a nice, pretty backdrop for those pastel candies and the combination of white chocolate and peanut butter is good.

I recommend trying to get the best quality white chocolate you can find.

You can substitute the white chocolate for the same amount of milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate, if you prefer.

Ingredients

• 9 cups rice Chex Cereal
• 1 cup white chocolate chip morsels (you can substitute the same amount of semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chip morsels if you prefer)
• ½ cup smooth peanut butter
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups confectioner's sugar
• 2 cups peanut M&Ms or Easter-themed candy of your choice
• optional customization: you can add popcorn or pretzels as well

Kitchen Tools

• measuring spoons and cups
• wooden spoon for stirring the chocolate-peanut butter mixture
• medium saucepan
• extra large mixing bowls
• baking spatula

Web Story

This recipe can be made completely on the stovetop which makes it easy to come together.
